UNSPSC 50592612: Dried Non GMO white rock cauliflowers

The variety of Non GMO cauliflower known as Non GMO white rock cauliflowers that has been dried for preservation. This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions. Such methods include cell fusion, microencapsulation and macro-encapsulation, and recombinant DNA technology (including gene deletion, gene doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the positions of genes when achieved by recombinant DNA technology).

Traditional methods of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture are considered to be non-GMO.

UNSPSC 50592612 Dried Non GMO white rock cauliflowers (Commodity) covers dried cauliflower products procured by state and local governments, particularly school districts and health and human services agencies for meal programs. Recent solicitations show that state and local buyers use this code as part of broader fresh and processed produce categories for school lunch programs, senior meal services, and institutional food operations. The work spans sourcing, specification compliance, nutritional documentation, and delivery of produce items meeting USDA Buy American provisions (typically 51 percent domestic agricultural content for processed items) and nutrition standards including the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act. Issuing bodies include school districts and boards of education across multiple states, county commissions managing senior services, and state health and human services agencies operating state-supported living centers. These entities typically solicit produce under IFB or ITB notice types with firm-fixed pricing, prepaid freight, and delivery schedules to school warehouses, central distribution points, or multiple facility locations.

Recent activity spans Connecticut, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and Mississippi. Representative solicitations include Bridgeport Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for over 1,100 line items of grocery items including vegetables (response due June 30, 2026); Hancock County Board of Education's June 2026 IFB for fresh produce encompassing cruciferous vegetables including cauliflower across over 200 line items (response due June 26, 2026); Texas Health and Human Services Commission's June 2026 IFB for food and consumable products for the El Paso State Supported Living Center with historical annual value of $1.5 million (response due July 13, 2026); Hillsborough County's June 2026 ITB for senior meal preparation and delivery services valued at $17,832,659.90 over three years (response due June 25, 2026); and the State of Georgia's May 2026 solicitation for food, supplies, and other kitchen products (response due June 22, 2026). All solicitations mandate compliance documentation including USDA affidavits, health inspection records, nutritional analyses, insurance certifications, and often HACCP plans for food safety.
